Paris1127 i saw a TV documentary about some of the many monorails in EU. what a wonderful form of transportation. very clever to place them where they do not impede or interfere with man made structures or cause destruction of natural elements. monorails are one more thing that opens the eyes of an American who has heard "We're #1" chanted many times. maybe every government feeds lies & propaganda to their masses, i don't know.

I like them all except the movable house idea. Every party, that one f*ckin' guy would pass out on the handbrake or steal the keys and go looking for "some action". It'd probably be slow enough that you wouldn't notcie until he got out to pee behind a bush and you looked out the window and saw him running alongside looking panic stricken.

What strike me the most in those kind of thing is how they thought people would dress in the future. From time to time they successfully predict future technology but they never correctly predict future clothes. They either think clothing would not change much or that everyone would wear uniforms.

I think if you went back in time and showed people how people dressed now, their heads would explode.

Slaxl:I see Albert Speer designed Hitler into the whole thing. I assume it was intentional anyway.

That was a pretty irresponsible idea, even for a concept. It would be the biggest dome ever made, it's unknown how it could support it's own mass, and the interior is so large that it would rain inside.

And can we resurrect Le Corbu so we can kill him? We tried Brutalist architecture and city planning. They're dismal and dehumanizing and so soulless they started dying of neglect as soon as they were built.

Corbu was only partially responsible for Brutalism. And as a style of architecture, it's no better or worse than any other; well-designed Brutalist buildings are beautiful and poorly designed on suck. Sadly, like many other stylizes, the poorly--designed buildings out-number the good ones.
